Wyss, Weiler to reopen LCC's Pearl Restaurant

If you miss the Swiss Inn specialties of chef Martin Wyss, you'll want to check out the Hall of Fame Dinner Oct. 28 that marks the grand reopening of the Pearl Restaurant at Leeward Community College.

Wyss and chef Hans Weiler, both members of the LCC Culinary Hall of Fame, have set the menu and will supervise student chefs in preparing the four-course meal. Weiler, founder of Hans Weiler Foods, will feature signature pastries from his time as pastry chef at the Ilikai and the Mauna Kea Resort.
